The Bulwark Daily · Charles Duhigg: What MAGA Can Teach Democrats · 24 Feb 2026 podcast

And that's really, really impressive.

But MAGA is really good at organizing, right?

And that's much less visible.

It's much less high profile.

But what they've done is they've created tens of thousands of local leaders, these little cells that exist to get out the vote on Election Day and organizing beats mobilizing every day of the week.

Because the truth of the matter is, when you go to that No Kings Day rally and you feel so good to be in a huge crowd, afterwards you go home.

And you didn't get the names of anyone who is there.

You didn't make any new friends.

You don't set up a meeting, a plan to meet the next week in order to figure out how to continue the effort.

It feels good, but it doesn't create change.

And that's what we need to learn from MAGA.

So I'm Gen X. And as I was reporting this, I was trying to figure out how to explain the difference here.

And I just went back to, I've always had this question, like,

Everyone looked down their nose at MAD and DARE was so popular.

And today MAD is successful and DARE isn't.

And I was just curious, like, why?

And so I started doing reporting and it turned out to be a great way to explain this.

Yeah, no, you're exactly right.

This inclusion is really important.

And it's funny that you mentioned Obama as an organizer, because if you look back to the Obama campaign, the first campaign and the second campaign, which was revolutionary in how they used volunteers.
